Worst Attorney General ever resigns

Attorney General Eric Holder — the first African-American to be the nation’s top cop — will announce later today that he is resigning, a Justice Department official told ABC News.

The announcement comes after nearly six years at the helm of the department that were marked by both highs and lows for a man who came in to revamp what many considered a demoralized and scandal-plagued institution.

Under Holder’s leadership, the Justice Department saw “historic gains in the areas of criminal justice reform and civil rights enforcement,” particularly on the issues of gay rights, sentencing reform and voting rights, and in the coming Holder is expected to impose new curbs on racial profiling in law enforcement, a department official told ABC News.

In a recent interview with ABC News’ Pierre Thomas, Holder described his time leading the Justice Department as “demanding” but “the honor of my professional life,” serving the American people.

“I hope I’ve done a good job,” he said. “I’ve certainly tried to do as good a job as I can. There are sacrifices that I’ve had to make, that my family has had to make.”

You want to know what a good job he’s done? Look at this:

Good job, Eric.

That’s the blood of Mexican teens killed at a party by cartel gunmen wielding weapons that Eric Holder Department of Justice knowingly allowed to be bought illegally in the US and be taken to Mexico as part of Operation Fast and Furious. (See also) That’s what Eric Holder “sacrificed” for.

Hell of a legacy, man.

It’s a shame I don’t have time to write about this today; Holder just makes me sick, and I would love to vent. For now, though, If you want to know more of what I think about this corrupt, racialist radical, check out my posts tagged “Eric Holder.” Also, there’s an excellent recent book about Holder’s role as Obama’s enforcer.

What can be said about Eric Holder’s six years as attorney general that PJ Media hasn’t already said? The news that Holder is going to resign should be bittersweet to anyone who cares about racial equality and the rule of law. The damage he has already done to the country leaves a turbulent wake that is ill-matched to the financial reward awaiting him at a shameless and large Washington, D.C., law firm.

Our country is more polarized and more racially divided because of Eric Holder. He turned the power of the Justice Department into a racially motivated turnout machine for the Democratic Party. That was his job in this administration, and he did it well.

Be sure to read it all. Mr. Adams is also the author of the invaluable “Injustice.”

Cheap power politics hates a vacuum and rushes to fill it. This is what Obammhud, Holder, Sharpton, and Jackson represent in terms of so-called “Black leadership” which actually embodies the leadership of the Black Klan.

Show me the difference between them and the old Ku Klux Klan. There isn’t any. Holder’s illegal snooping on FNC’s James Rosen was exactly the same tactic as the original Klan’s “night riders” sent to frighten newly freed slaves from exercising their rights.

The trepidation this administration exhibits in fretting over where the weapons supplied to the Syrian “moderates” might go is the same level of concern that should have been used in the case of “Fast & Furious”.

@Proof: President Jello has avoided jail his entire life (as far as we know, but those records could have been “sealed, too). What makes you think the thug gang from Chi-town will ever see the inside of a cell now?

Sure, there’ve been plenty of criminal and civil offenses, many of which would fall under the “high crimes and misdemeanors” clause, but since the creep from Nevada runs the Senate with a Hitlerian hammer, there’s been absolutely no chance to make an impeachment stick. The Repubs have been smart not to pursue that course. It would have only made them look more foolish in voters’ eyes than they already do.
